Why would they want to do that? Are wild horses that much of a threat?

They're part of the problem regarding the destruction of habitat. Burros are the worst of what can be controlled. There have been horror stories of shooting them from helicopters and running them to death. They do try to adopt them out and have even relocated some to Nevada. From what I saw a few days ago, cattle are messing up springs and tend to overgraze. However, cattle are owned by ranchers and they still claim grazing rights over large portions of the reserve. Very controversial.

Out of the five that were in the group, the two shown here ended up becoming very aggressive toward my friend's truck. At first I thought they were escapees from a ranch, but none of them had been shoed.
